>>Nope. NewEgg is claiming that I "damaged" the drive somehow, but have
yet to explain what the "damage" was, beyond the superficial /
cosmetic damage received from putting it into my computer. I have
escalated from the CS peon who can only follow the script to their
boss. Have to see what Ms. Yang says.
For one thing, though, as I mentioned, Seagate says this was a USED
drive and was originally sold as an external drive, apparently in a
case. Someone, could have been NewEgg, could have been a customer,
removed the drive from the case and NewEgg sold it as a "new" drive.
